Groups including the Wall of Moms and Don't Shoot Portland have sued Homeland Security and the Justice Department over violence from federal officers.
Bev Barnum, the organizer of Wall of Moms, is one of the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit.
“Wall of Moms is non-violent,” Barnum wrote on Facebook. “Portland is done being shot with rubber bullets, tear gas, bean bag rounds and beaten by federal officers and local law enforcement. Once you experience Trump’s tyranny for yourself, you will understand why we’re protecting the protestors. They have a right to demand necessary changes.”“They have been tear-gassed night after night, left vomiting and unable to eat or sleep because of the toxic poison blasted at them,” the lawsuit reads.
